2. Phasing an interchange project
The thermal-hydraulic sizing of a heat exchanger requires a set of preliminary data, of varying degrees of constraint, which will greatly influence the quality of the component design.
The term "design" of a heat exchanger includes the definition of specifications and general characteristics of the exchanger according to the specific needs of the application. During the design phase, decisions are made concerning the type of heat exchanger to be used, materials of construction, overall dimensions, configuration, heat transfer methods, etc. Design usually involves preliminary calculations and analysis to ensure that the heat exchanger will meet performance and functionality requirements.
In the specific context of heat exchangers, the term "design" is often used to describe the entire process of creating...
